Maharashtra Assembly Election Results 2024 Live: These elections will be a test for the fractured Shiv Sena and NCP, after a rebellion in these parties.

Mumbai : Maharashtra Election Results 2024 LIVE Updates: Maharashtra voted with enthusiasm, registering a voter turnout not seen in three decades. Rival alliances Mahayuti (BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP) and Maha Vikas Aghadi (NCP(SP)-Shiv Sena(UBT)-Congress) are now hopeful for elevation to power even as five of nine exit polls predicted a comfortable cruise to victory for the BJP-led bloc.
These polls will also be a litmus test for the divided Shiv Sena and NCP, as these parties split after a rebellion. In case of a win for Maha Vikas Aghadi, it would have to overcome the hurdles posed by internal differences over the choice of chief minister.

In a largely peaceful election, a multi-crore bitcoin scam involving the names of Mr Patole and NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule started a row. Further, BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde was accused of a cash-for-votes scam, with the opposition alleging he distributed ₹ 5 crore.
